Based on construction and future operation and maintenance costs, it was determined that rural water was the best fit for the City. Ulteig worked closely with the City and McLean Sheridan Rural Water to secure the necessary easements and agreements for the City to connect into the rural water system.In addition to the rural water connection, this project included renovating and upgrading the Citys existing water storage building. These improvements included the installation of new poly tanks, process piping, process pumps and controls to make a more efficient maintenance system for the City of Mercer to operate. In addition, improvements to the building were made, which included new lighting, heating, dehumidifiers, overhead garage door and other general updates. These improvements also increased the Citys water storage capacity to 11,000 gallons. Water Distribution ImprovementsThe Citys existing water distribution system is comprised of 1.5-inch to three-inch diameter mains that were installed in the 1960s. Due to the size and age of these, the City has experienced significant issues with fire flow and lack of water pressure. This project includes the replacement of the existing watermain and the installation of new watermain loops that are aimed to improve pressure and flow throughout the City. Ulteig.com | We listen.
